| pregnane |
a type of saturated 21-carbon steroid hydrocarbon nucleus that is the parent structure of many steroids; two groups of steroids are distinguished as those stemming from 5α-pregnane and those stemming from 5β-pregnane. In the latter group are progesterones, ketones, and several corticosteroids.

a metabolite of 17α-hydroxyprogesterone, normally occurring in small amounts in body fluids and urine, but greatly increased in disorders of the adrenal cortex in which 21-hydroxylation of the steroid nucleus is impaired, as in the most common form of congenital adrenocortical hyperplasia with virilism.
